I haven’t been cooking lately. Not at all. And you know what, I’m okay with that. Everyone needs a break now and then, right? And, I haven’t been eating out. I’ve been living on things like fruit and nut bowls and smoothies. Completely not inspirational.

But today, today I was inspired. I was inspired to make a grain-free, vegan, sugar-free version of our family favorite Bossk Brownies from the Star Wars Cookbook. The kiddo approves, and so does R2D2.

FAbulous looking recipe, wow! I am totally trying this. I love that there isn’t any xanthan or starches. And I had no idea that a Star Wars Cookbook even exists. I don’t recall brownies from Star WArs, but whatever. ;) Thanks for such a great SOS submission! xo

Thanks Kim. I don’t think there are any brownies in Star Wars. Bossk is a bounty hunter character. Most of the recipes are just a play on names. But, it’s a fun cookbook, especially for kids. And, yah, I’m trying to play with no gums and starches, too. Brownies are easy because they’re supposed to be all fudgy.

Star Wars or not, who wouldn’t love these brownies?? They look incredibly fudgy and I bet the dates also add a delicious flavor. Thanks so much for this stellar submission to the SOS! (yes, pun intended–groan) ;)

I just found your site through the January round up. Had to check out the name as my guys are huge SW fans. You recipe is very similar to a bar I make but I like that you used dates and I’m playing with my recipe right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

You had me with the pic of R2D2! My chocolate chip breakfast cake is out of the oven. They are great – a little more dense and chewy – more of a bar than cake texture and very, very moist. I’ll definitely try that again. My chocolate coconut bars need a few more minutes in the oven but oh my goodness, the batter was to die for. Thanks again!
